This study demon- strates that the city’s Christian image was not only formed by the Teutonic Knights, a Chris- tian military order that governed Gdańsk during this time, but by many social groups representing all strata of the city’s residents, sometimes supported by external powers, in the process of negotiating social and urban statuses. Consequently, the city’s architecture, urban space, and artwork were not only an expression of religious beliefs or of a particular artistic style, but also a manifestation of social, economic, and political identities. Key words christianization * Gdańsk * teutonic knights * medieval art * medieval archi- tecture * medieval saints * medieval city Contact University of Central Oklahoma, [email protected] Fourteenth-century Gdańsk was an important Hanseatic-trading center located in the ethnically and religiously diverse Prussia of the Teutonic Order.1 Enhanced by its location in the middle of the Baltic commerce routes, the city traded a variety of goods, including grain, amber, and wood, to all parts of the European continent.2 Because of the trading activities, Gdańsk’s population dramatically increased from 7,000 in the thirteenth cen- tury to 14,000 by the end of the fourteenth century.3 Mainly of Polish backgrounds in the thirteenth century, with a small number of Prussians and Germanic people, by the four- teenth century the city’s residents were predominantly of German origins, representing different Germanic cultures, while Polish and Prussian population groups constituted a minority of Gdańsk’s cultural and language makeup. The remarkable demographic growth fostered the complete rebuilding of Gdańsk un- der the Kulm Law. In this process of urban transformation, the thirteenth-century city – * This paper expands one of the chapters of my dissertation: PAC, Teresa: Churches at the Edge : A Comparative Study of Christianization Processes along the Baltic Sea in the Middle Age : Gdańsk and Novgorod.

Moreover, the fishing station was shifted to Osiek (Hackelwerk), near the Knights’ castle, to provide them with fish. The increased trading activities were manifested by the construction of 130 granaries, a shipyard, and an English trading colony.6 At the same time, a significant number of ecclesiastical public architecture made of brick arose against the wooden fabric of residential houses to serve both the old and new residents of the city.7 Built mostly in the second half of the fourteenth-century, Gdańsk churches were a few times larger than the residential buildings, and thereby visually projected the city’s Chris- tian image, which

  • Exegesis, Empire and Eschatology: Reading Orosius’ Histories Against the Pagans in the Carolingian World
    Graeme Ward Exegesis, Empire and Eschatology: Reading Orosius’ Histories Against the Pagans in the Carolingian World This essay seeks to uncover nuggets of eschatological thought in three Carolingian commentaries on the Gospel of Matthew. It does so by examining the different ways that Hrabanus Maurus, Paschasius Radbertus and Christian of Stavelot read and in- terpreted Orosius’ Seven Books of Histories Against the Pagans, a work of Christian apologetic history composed c. 417. Orosius’ Histories, which were hugely influential throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, typically have been seen as expressing a dis- tinctly eschatological understanding of the Roman Empire, an understanding that is frequently contrasted with that of Orosius’ teacher and dedicatee: Augustine of Hippo. The exegetical reception of Orosius, which has not yet been subject to close scrutiny, reveals that some ninth-century intellectuals did not use Orosius to show that the du- ration of the world was bound to the lifespan of the Roman Empire. Rather, they em- ployed the Histories as an authoritative account of the beginnings of the ecclesia, the Christian Church. These biblical exegetes fashioned close intertextual bonds between Orosius’ narrative and Matthew’s account of the birth of Christ. By bringing Orosius into dialogue with the central narrative of Christianity, they invested the Histories with eschatological meaning. 1 Introduction Eschatological thought permeated all forms of Christian practice and belief in the Middle Ages, not least because it was written into the scriptural core of Christianity: the books of the Old and New Testaments.1 Consequently, biblical exegesis – that is, the interpretation of the various books of the Bible – comprised a particularly im- portant medium through which ideas about Last Things were communicated to me- dieval monks and clerics, and perhaps also lay people too.

  • The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade
    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Comparative Study of the Hermeneutics of Henri de Lubac and Hans-Georg Gadamer Concerning Tradition, Community and Faith in the Interpretation of Scripture A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Eric Joseph Jenislawski Washington, DC 2016 A Comparative Study of the Hermeneutics of Henri de Lubac and Hans-Georg Gadamer Concerning Tradition, Community and Faith in the Interpretation of Scripture Eric Joseph Jenislawski Director: John T. Ford, CSC, S.T.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates and compares the hermeneutics of the French Jesuit theologian, Henri de Lubac (1896-1991), and the German philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2001). The writings of both Gadamer and de Lubac continue to generate scholarly investigation, including proposals to apply their insights to contemporary biblical interpretation. Although de Lubac and Gadamer were contemporaries, they never directly engaged each other’s writings; this dissertation brings their thought into dialogue. Chapter One provides a biographical overview of the lives of both scholars by situating the texts that will be examined within the broader context of each work. Since de Lubac approached the subject of biblical interpretation chiefly as an historian of exegesis, the first step in this comparative investigation is a formulation of de Lubac’s hermeneutical principles. Chapter Two, which constitutes the major portion of this dissertation, analyzes de Lubac’s works Catholicisme, Histoire et Esprit, Exégèse médiévale, and La Postérité spirituelle de Joachim de Flore in view of understanding his hermeneutics.

  • 6 Stefan Kwiatkowski [648] in the Scope of Military Preparations, the Situation Was Changing Dynami- Cally, Especially Between 1453–1454
    ZAPISKI HISTORYCZNE — TOM LXXXI — ROK 2016 Zeszyt 4 http://dx.doi.org./10.15762/ZH.2016.46 STEFAN KWIATKOWSKI (University of Szczecin) A CONFLICT FOR VALUES IN THE ORIGINS AND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRTEEN YEARS’ WAR Key words: the Teutonic Order, Prussian Confederation, law and justice in cultural sense The aim of the paper is to picture the issue of understanding the question of war and peace on the eve and at the beginning of the unpredictable in its consequences conflict. Obviously, the starting points are the parties present in Prussia, that is the Teutonic Order on the one hand, and, on the other, its con- federated subjects. The Polish Kingdom and other external factors engaged the war with their own program, having little in common with the country’s interest. Not only did the Teutonic Order and Prussian Estates understand war and peace in practical terms, but also perceived it through the prism of re- ligion, morality, scholastic thought, and jurisprudence. Both parties had been engaging in a political struggle for decades, during which both of the sides reached for arguments borrowed from broadly defined Christian doctrine. In the middle of 15th century, they acquired a local color which ignited a deep ir- ritation among the order brothers who came from the Reich. Two conflicting ideas for the country order were opposed: the Order’s and the Estate’s views. They had been clashing for a longer time, and finally became irreconcilable. The order, when it comes to principle, stood on the grounds of the Divine Law, which was unalterable and eternal.

  • Historical Survey of Hermeneutics and Homiletics: a Summative Paper
    HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS: A SUMMATIVE PAPER by Charles E. Handren B.A., California Baptist University, 1995 M.Div., American Baptist Seminary of the West, 1999 A POST-COURSE ASSIGNMENT FOR MN 9101-01 HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS Submitted to the faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MINISTRY Concentration in Preaching at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Deerfield, Illinois June, 2013 HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS: A SUMMATIVE PAPER In the spring of 2011, I took a Doctor of Ministry course at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School entitled, “Hermeneutics and Homiletics.” One of the required readings was Dennis Johnson’s fine work, Him We Proclaim: Preaching Christ from all the Scriptures. Part one of this book, and particularly chapter four, provides an overview of the history of hermeneutics and homiletics which both aided my understanding of the subject and exposed a significant gap in my knowledge. Specifically, Johnson helped me to see how little I knew about the interpretation and proclamation of the Bible over the last twenty centuries, and how significant a bearing this history has on current issues and debates. Since my Doctor of Ministry concentration is preaching, I thought this gap unacceptable and thus requested an independent reading course which was eventually entitled, “Historical Survey of Hermeneutics and Homiletics.” I set two objectives for the course. First, I aimed to develop a broad and general understanding of the history of the relationship between hermeneutics and homiletics in the Christian church. I have fulfilled this aim by reading a little over five-thousand pages of secondary material, and by building a basic mental framework which now needs to be clarified, strengthened, and built out.

    Conclusions The aim of this study of the history of the Magdeburg Weichbild in the medi- eval Kingdom of Poland was a thorough examination of the following issues: 1) The Introduction set the stage of the debate by focusing on the key issues of the functioning of the Weichbild in legal practice and the expanding range of its regulations. An examination of the sources at the point of its origin in Chapter 1 established the distinctly urban bias of the ‘Polish’ Weichbild. 2) Chapter 1 focuses on the extant Latin texts of the Weichbild. They out- number by far the corresponding German texts, which indicates that the former were in much greater demand in the Kingdom of Poland. 3) Chapter 2 analyses at length the dynamics of the Latin text and its muta- tions. It also tries to establish the characteristic features of the Latin texts and classify them. 4) Chapter 2 notes the special role of Cracow in the history of municipal law in the Kingdom of Poland, too. 5) Chapter 3 argues that the evolution of the Weichbild in the Kingdom of Poland was the product of a process of adaptation of the Magdeburg Law to the needs of its users. 6) Chapter 4 shows that it is possible to detect lines and stages of histori- cal development in a seemingly irregular proliferation of the Weichbild’s texts and variations. The process began with a few German texts, which spawned a large number of Latin offshoots; it came to an end with an authorized print version, Jan Łaski’s Commune incliti.

  • Who Is a Jew? 30 Pages
    Who is a Jew? 30 pages. In Romans 2:28, 29 Paul tells us who IS a Jew and who is NOT a Jew. God's answer to this question cannot be obtained by looking at one's genetics, but by the lawful requirements of citizenship in a tribe of Israel. This shows how those Jews who accepted Christ and all others who accept Him as King-Messiah have legally joined the tribe of Judah and are thus "Jews". On the other hand, those who have rejected Him are NOT Jews at all, because they have revolted against the King of Judah and have forfeited their citizenship in Judah. • Chapter 1: The Two Fig Trees of Judah • Chapter 2: Genealogical and Converted Jews Chapter 1 The Two Fig Trees of Judah There are essentially two definitions of the term “Jew.” There is man’s definition, and there is God’s definition. Of course, even Jews today have differences of opinion on how to define a Jew—whether it is a racial, cultural, or a religious term. Some argue that a person is a Jew if their mother is a Jew; others say a person is a Jew if either parent is one. There are also many “secular Jews,” who do not even believe in God, but share a cultural heritage. Religious Jews debate about whether these secular Jews are really Jews or not. Further, Judaism is divided into three main divisions: Orthodox, Reformed, and Conservative. Many claim that they must be of their denomination to be a true Jew. Such a debate is not much different from Christian denominations, many of whom do not recognize other sects as being true Christians.
